How it started
Verome started as a high school graduation project.
The original goal was simple — build a working web application inspired by
social platforms I use every day.
What began as a school assignment quickly turned into something more.
Instead of stopping after graduation, I decided to continue developing it
and explore what it could become.
Not just another clone
While Verome is inspired by existing social networks,
the goal is not to copy them.
This project is an experiment in:
- building a community-first platform
- learning how social features scale
- designing something simple before adding complexity
I’m focusing on learning, iteration, and user feedback.
Vision
Long term, I’d love to see Verome grow into:
- a small but active community
- a platform where people can share and connect
- something built with users, not just for them
Right now, it’s early-stage — and that’s the exciting part.
Tech stack
- React – frontend and UI logic
- Firebase – authentication, users, posts, chats, messages, stories, and reels
- Supabase – file storage (images & media)
This setup allowed me to move fast while keeping the app flexible
and easy to iterate on as a solo developer.
Using AI in the process
AI played an important role in building Verome.
I used AI tools to:
- brainstorm features and UI ideas
- speed up problem-solving
- understand unfamiliar concepts
- iterate faster during development
AI didn’t replace learning — it accelerated it.
All architectural decisions and final implementations were still mine.
Looking for feedback
Since this is still early, I’d really appreciate:
- feedback from developers
- ideas for features
- opinions on what works and what doesn’t
